The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $383,202 project grant to The Washington University to conduct research on the thermal and compositional structure of the Antarctic mantle from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. Under the grant, the university will use probabilistic joint inversion of seismic, gravity, and topography data along with petrological modeling to map the three-dimensional thermal and compositional structure of the Antarctic mantle from the surface...
This $377,603 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research by the University of Colorado to investigate the effects of transient and non-Newtonian mantle viscosity on glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) processes and their implications for GPS observations in Antarctica. The project aims to build an accurate and efficient computer model to study the displacement and deformation of the Antarctic crust and mantle in response to...
This $513,997 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The grant funds research to explore the dynamics of boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions such as islands and grounded ice. This research aims to better understand how these compressive ice shelf boundaries influence the flow of inland ice...
The National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs awarded a $899,856 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, on August 15, 2023. The funding supports a collaborative U.S./U.K. research project investigating the direct influence of meltwater on the dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet. The key activities include a field campaign on Flade Glacier and a continent-wide remote sensing survey to test hypotheses related to how surface meltwater reaching...
This Project Grant award of $859,378 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project exploring the dynamics of ice shelf boundaries in Antarctica. The research aims to investigate areas where floating ice shelves compressively flow against obstructions, as these "crash-zones" generate resistive forces that impact ice sheet contributions to sea-level rise. The project will feature on-site glaciological and geophysical...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $627,264 Project Grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY), operating as Stony Brook University, to conduct a comprehensive seismic investigation of the Earth's crust and upper mantle beneath the South Pole in East Antarctica. The 5-year project, titled "CAREER: A Comprehensive Seismic Investigation to the Crust and Uppermost Mantle Beneath the South Pole, East...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $184,798 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (Stony Brook University) to conduct collaborative research on temporal variations in glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The research aims to better understand how seismic properties within and beneath the Antarctic ice sheets change over time, which can provide insights into ice sheet dynamics and responses to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $126,121 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for a 3-year collaborative research project to study temporal variations in glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The project aims to leverage existing seismic data to better understand how the physical properties of the Antarctic ice sheet change over time, including seasonal variations in subglacial hydrological systems....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $325,757 to the University of Maine System to investigate the erosional landscapes of the Transantarctic Mountains and the past behavior of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The research aims to determine the age and reasons for a significant expansion of the ice sheet over the mountains, which may have involved substantial subglacial meltwater. This information will help improve understanding of...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $132,303 project grant to Columbia University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will support collaborative research to improve understanding of past variability in glaciation in the Weddell Embayment and Antarctic Peninsula regions. Eleven investigators from seven U.S. institutions and Argentine collaborators will study sediment cores from the International Ocean Discovery Program as well...
